Issue when opening links from other pages

[siddhartpai]

When I middle-click on a link from an already open tab, it opens up a new tab and doesn't load anything. The new URL just sits in the address bar and doesn't load anything. Even if I press enter on the URL or try to reload the tab, it doesn't do anything.

This has started happening after I installed the extension. I'll also attach a screenshot the next time I face this issue.

This only happens when opening new tabs and typing in the url and trying to load the page. This does not happen where some page already has been opened and I'm able to navigate from it to another page successfully

At this point of time, the web debugging console doesn't open. But the firefox browser console can be opened. I see a couple of errors there. I'm attaching the errors below.

Error: WebExtension context not found! ExtensionParent.jsm:1229:13 uncaught exception: Object

Is this relevant ?

Thanks for taking the time to report this. I am unable to reproduce this myself at the moment. Please could you provide the following information to help me investigate this further:

• Operating system name and version (e.g. Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1)
• Firefox release line (stable/nightly/developer edition) and version (e.g. Firefox stable v71.0 x64)
• The version of Custom New Tab Page installed (e.g. v0.4.0)
• A step by step way to consistently reproduce this issue

Closing this issue, as this is still happening even after I've disabled the extension.
